Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DB' corresponds to the 20-SOIC package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing specifications may vary by production batch. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified 0°C to 70°C thermal limits for reliable performance. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring ALS speed with standard TTL compatibility. The three-state feature is essential for multiplexed bus architectures. Consider the SOIC package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify input voltage levels match the driving source logic family specifications to ensure proper switching thresholds.
